Posting land creates more problems than it solves. It creates hard feelings among local hunters (especially when the person posting the land is not a "local"). I'm not saying it's right or wrong.... All I'm saying is that if land is posted, there are going to be problems. I think a better way is to post signs that say "Hunting with written permission only" and have your name and phone number on the sign. That sends a very different message than "No Hunting or Trespassing.....Violaters will be prosecuted", and signs with similar language.

Some friends have a hunting cabin that was being broken into continually and vandalized. They finally took the lock off the door and put a sign up that said, "You are welcome to use this cabin....please leave it as you found it". End of problems... Go figure. People are funny.

Also, remember that when you post property you are posting it from a lot of people who you may need something from some day. That person you turn down could very well be an EMT on the local volunteer ambulance or a volunteer fireman. Something to think about........
